Summer Youth Internship Program

What is the Summer Youth Internship Program?

Going into its 11th year of operation, The Summer Youth Internship Program (SYIP) continues to serve our community. The Children’s Trust, Miami-Dade County, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), CareerSource South Florida, EdFed, and M-DCPS Foundation, collaborate with a single intent in mind: to provide meaningful, paid summer internship opportunities for youth across Miami-Dade County.

The unique structure of this high-quality summer internship program includes parent, student and employer orientations conducted virtually, online pre-internship training for interns, student interns assigned to certified M-DCPS teachers, a curriculum consisting of weekly assignments, an online interface, and Miami.GetMyInterns.org for enrollment and matching of student interns and employers. 

You can make a difference in a student’s life by allowing them to learn and grow with your company. The best part? There is no cost to you! Our students are paid through a grant from our generous sponsors, and they come with their own accident insurance, so there’s no need to worry about workman’s comp.
